The Dodge L700 was a medium duty truck. Dodge never produced L700s with lengthened chassis capable of mounting a Gar Wood LP-900 packer body. Any lengthened chassis you might run across was a custom order from an outside manufacturer like Freightliner. Besides, the Gar Wood LP-900 25 cu.yd. packer body, with a full 25,000 lb. load, would have completely overloaded an L700, even with a lengthened chassis. Fun fact: after Gar Wood ceased operations in early 1979, a licensing agreement was reached with Heil Company, granting them exclusive rights to manufacture and sell most of the former Gar Wood refuse body product line in North America, including the LP-700, LP-900 and LP-10 00 rear loaders. The Heil Company still produces the LP-900 body under the name Formula 5000. The LP-900 is also license produced by FAUN in Europe and the U.K. as the LP-901 (FAUN Powerpress), an improved LP-900.

You seem to be the self-appointed linguistics expert here. Lesson time: "L" as an abbreviation for "large" is generally used on clothes/garment tags to indicate size. Check your shorts if you doubt it. "lrg", "lge" or "lg" are used to describe non-apparel items. Look it up. You could have easily called Paasche to get a clarification. I did and the customer service rep confirmed that "L" indicates "LESS", not "LARGE". He also provided me with the product number for lids with gaskets. It's described as "1 OZ. COVER W/GASKET". "W" as in "WITH", not "WIDE".

You could have prevented a lot of agita by getting THESE, 10 glass jars with lids for 17 bucks free shipping. BTW, TCP Global carries more airbrushing accessories than you'll ever need.

It's a euphemism for hoarder. Ask the Collyer brothers.

Testors also made Gunmetal Metalizer. Alclad 113 Jet Exhaust is great.

"Stupid", a quirky new take on the classic "normal".

After the fuzz disintegrates, you're left with a pointy tip which can be used to apply small amounts of CA.

I don't disparage what others might do (not in the public fora, at least ); but, resurrecting terminally dead plastic ain't my church. Firstly, there are no toy shows around here for me to rummage through for model kits, builtups or glue bombs. Secondly, flea markets and porch/yard sales here are fantastic if you're looking for an old Remington typewriter missing all of the vowel stamps, dog-eared copies of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" or vintage ( read used) underwear. The gentrifying interlopers aren't into common, pedestrian leisure activities like mainstream hobbies such as model building; and, neither are their kids. I'm also not going to pickup a ridiculously built ready-for-demolition-by-M-80 glue bomb with every single customizing accessory welded on with three tubes' worth of cement with broken and/or missing key parts on ebay for an equally ridiculous price just because I have an interest in the particular subject. Trying to restore a styrene abortion such as described isn't worth the time or effort when it ends up being a laborious ordeal because of the condition and I still have to do a scavenger hunt for parts which are, more often than not. unobtainium. I don't feel like forking over twenty buck or more for a stupid hood ornament or taillight lens, among other missing necessary parts, if they are MIA or completely FUBAR.

Some Johan kits can command multiple hundreds of dollars. I've seen a Chrysler Turbine Car for $295.00 which translates to almost 280 cans of Fancy Feast Medleys cat food. Man, that's good eatin'.

A real glue bomb. I've never invested time or money for a built model that looks like poop box material just because I might be interested in the subject matter. I prefer starting fresh from new or old virgin unbuilt.

The British and Americans are two peoples divided by a common language. Bye the bye, youse guys were the ones what changed the way you talked. Up to the late 18th Century, British and American English were nearly identical in pronunciation, being close to the Elizabethan Early Modern English of Bill Shakespeare. Modern American English is actually more similar to what British English sounded like before the War of Independence than the Public School English (RP) used today. Our British cousins messed with the language with the Great Vowel Shift and Received Pronunciation (RP) dropped "R's" all over the place so you would sound all fancy and posh like Margaret Dumont in a Marx Brothers film. Reading through large numbers of posts in this, and other fora, neither are large numbers of people who, more than likely, speak and write only in English as the sole language for communicating.

Yes.

The gel pen ink is not very durable. It rubs off vinyl and rubber surfaces easily. Spray, or brush on, clear flat. Brushing on can cause the gel ink to dissolve and lift. I write from experience using the pen on tires from the Accurate Miniatures Corvette GS.

There are many far less interesting threads which have generated dozens of pages' worth of responses with no end in sight.

Your comment should be deleted. It makes sense.

Personally, I like whiting.

I have H-1262 Dodge Dart 440 4 DR, H-1261 Plymouth Fury and Dodge Lancer H-1253. The fit of the glass is a little sloppy. The glass from the Johan '62 kits fits the Revell Fury/Dartbodies requiring only a minor reshaping of the upper windshield frames of the Revell kits for a perfect fit. I vacuformed the Johan glass for use with the Revell kits. Since I plan on using the chassis, suspension and engine compartment parts from Lindberg '64 Mopars (I'm not crazy about the Johan/Revell chassis), tires aren't a problem. As a matter of fact, the Revell stock hub caps, and wheel backs with the axle stub removed, fit the B.F. Goodrich tires with the separate whitewalls found in AMT kits. I'll contact Peter Vetri to see if he'd like to borrow the Fury/Dart/Lancer glass to possibly make a tooling.

It could also be that they're laughing at you behind your back.

High school? Try again.

Revell obtained many Renwal toolings which were later reissued in the Renwal Blueprint Models series. Perhaps the Renwal Revivals tooling was part of the haul when Peter Vetri bought all of that tooling after The Hobbico bankruptcy sale.

That's the ticket.

You got it, Tom. It's funny how some people who pursue esoteric hobbies or leisure activities think that everybody and his brother should to be interested in the same; and, if they aren't, there's something wrong with them. I'm sure there are people who consider collecting vintage toilet paper wrappers a very exciting activity. Good for them. It ain't my church, though.
